Stopping these 2 Orlando City threats is key for Inter Miami on Wednesday night | OneFootball

Inter Miami received a hard slap from D.C United after last Saturday’s draw. Although the Herons needed to win the game to continue their playoff chances, Mascherano did the right thing.

The Jefecito knew he needed to rotate the squad to rest some crucial players for the game against Orlando City.

In the world of football, this decision could cost you games, but looking at the tight schedule, it's inevitable not to use substitutes.

As the famous phrase from The Lion King says, “Hakuna Matata”: Don’t worry about the past, since you can’t change it. Focus on the future.

That’s why Inter Miami needs to focus on this Wednesday's match against Orlando. From InterHeron, we brought you two players from the Lions that the Herons must neutralize:

Luis Muriel

I can’t count how many times Luis Muriel has destroyed Inter Miami defenders. The Colombian striker is a lethal weapon, and the Herons know it.

With 15 contributions, Muriel is the second most productive player of Orlando City.

For many years, the big panther has been the key attacking figure on the Lions' offensive scheme. His international experience and speed make him a valuable asset for the coach as he pulls all the team strings.

Adding that Muriel steps up in big games. Even if the big panther isn’t having a great season, he always raises his game for derbies and big matches, becoming the lethal striker we saw at Atalanta.

Martin Ojeda

The other offensive asset of Oscar Pareja. Martin Ojeda is the most productive player of Orlando City, with 27 contributions.

His connection with the Colombian striker makes him a lethal duo, creating danger for opposing defenders.

Ojeda has a radar in his foot; every pass is perfectly guided. Ojeda’s precise long passes and crosses could cause major problems for Falcon and Lujan if they continue struggling with aerial defense.

His attacking contributions are the only thing Ojeda does. Even if he is not scoring goals, he participates in the high-pressure and close passing lines between the opposing midfielders.
